Like someone else mentioned, you can switch the sched on the fly, and quite easily. From what I have seen myself: Anticipatory seems to be, at times, faster than deadline, but not by much. It tries to predict what will be needed next, where as deadline makes reads/writes based on which will be the fastest (recomended for databases and such iirc). In my experiance, CFQ has always been the slowest. It gives everything even time, and seems to cause alot more head movement than the other two, which is a pain. Best bet is to compile them all in, and switch them out to see what works best. For me that seems to be deadline (btw, I am running a desktop), but testing would be the best thing. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
